When You Feel Unappreciated At Work

Do in-house counsel feel unappreciated at work? When you hear “cost-center”, “they always say no”, “legal slows us down” on a weekly basis, it is hard not to get that feeling. Fortunately, there are things you can do, and don’t forget you need to get your r-e-s-p-e-c-t too:

“Everyone has a need to be appreciated. Yet most of us have, at some point in our working lives, felt unappreciated. In that you aren’t alone. A Gallup Poll found that 65% of American workers felt unappreciated. Feeling undervalued leads to a loss for yourself as well as the organization. For you, the results could be increased negativity, loss of motivation or morale, and for the organization, a loss of productivity.”
